EPTto give you guys an idea of what im talking about I have taken the liberty of compiling the majority of my bans/warnings in chronological order.. Its a pretty long read so I cut out all the generic message warnings and bans that I dont understand where they came from or what they are for or who they are from.
My first ban. from back in early 06 Beyonder popped my cherry gently but firmly.. ushering in my newfound higher standard of posting.

Next I have a couple warnings from multiple concerned mods about this gem of a thread.

My second ban was from rekrul for this whopper of a fail thread.. it pains me to look back on this and see how bad I have failed beyonder in upping my post quality ( and even more so today). good luck trying to figure out what exactly I was doing cause I dont even remember. I think this was back when I could still edit my posts when I was banned so I kept posting in it till it got closed.

keep in mind this was long before there was a ban list or a fancy robot to send me a nice pm about why I suck and should probably go away..

Hello!
The mod staff have noticed that your post quality has deteriorated fairly rapidly in recent times. As a veteran user of the forum it is expected that you set a good example for newer users, something which you are not fulfilling. We do not want to suck the fun out of the forum either and accept that there will be some flames thrown about, but the way you have gone about single-handedly degenerating the quality of the forum is too much for us to put up with any longer. Failure to improve posting standards will result in a lengthy ban.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation,
The Mod Staff

My next warning was a warning from a mod warning me not to warn the mods. unfortunatly I rather not disclose the circumstances on that one as there is security sensitive information related. Needless to say it was a joke but +1 regardless
The next warning (im gonna assume it was from plexa i dont know it wasnt signed ) was a pretty unreasonable one imo but w/e Its not my place to judge. I think kangaroos can add positive discussion to ANY topic.

this next post was so bad that apparently mods felt inclined to stack warnings. some kind of warning 2.0 system.

My next warning came from this thread when I defended someone who got perm banned for a really piss poor reason imo. I dont know if people remember the maji guy who posted in general about being an alien and preparing for the coming invasion etc. I personally thought it was funny as fuck but admins banned him and I got a warning for asking why in thread. wich had lead to this exchange of PM with mods.

The problem is that while you may enjoy reading his opinions and he may be a source of amusement to other posters, he contributes absolutely nothing to the site and in fact is actually detracting from it. Teamliquid is ideally a place where anyone can share their opinion, but at the end of the day the moderators define what opinions can be shared - and Maji's opinions are not something the moderation team cares for. Note Rule #1 of the TL Commandments.

Yes Good sir I have studied these commandments well in my many years of observing tl.net and its citizens.
However perhaps you do not understand the entire scope of this dire situation.
I must caution you to take note.. If you would for a second please consider the possible ramifications of presenting such hostility's towards a possible agent of the intergalactic community.
Such actions could only prove to be unfavorable in teamliquids survival.
In the chance occurrence of an actual alien invasion Teamliquid would probably be targeted for assimilation immediately upon enslavement of the human race. There would be little chance for diplomatic measures on our part having severed off all ties of communication with them. The fate of teamliquid Nay .. Mankind itself my very well rest in your hands. I only hope it is not too late. For I fear they have lasers, and our banhammers will stand no chance.

As a member of the Intergalactic Teamliquid Moderation Committee I understand your points of concern, but rest assured we have contingency plans in place in the event of alien invasion. We have been assembling the best of the best of the BEST for years. We have wizards from the most remote of lands manufacturing combatants for any manner of menace. Teamliquid looks out for the interests of humanity.
I may not have gotten him unbanned but at least I can rest easily now knowing somewhere out there teamliquid is preparing for majis coming invasion.

Another warning here for I have no idea what the problem here is but... no idea who its from but they apparently have warned me before. Looking back at it I think the person who warned me over reacted alot. I dont see any insulting or anything of that nature in my post but maybe it was a case of multiple posts on that day.. anyway If in doubt its prolly my fault.

Hopefully If anyone is to walk away from reading all these warnings/bans stupidity on my part etc with having learned something I would hope it would be this.
Teamliquid as strict as it may be is not some super evil entity out to ban and wipe out anyone that they dont agree with.
I am living walking proof of this. TL.net has given me more chances than I honestly ever deserved because at the end of the day they just want to make me and you a better person. to make their home a better place.
Anyway Im going to retire this account. I would like to apologize to TL mods for being a twat over the years and thank them for putting up with me.
hopefully some day I will come back.. maybe 10 years down the road.. when the mods have all forgotten how bad of a poster I really am and its safe for me to come out again.. but for now.. for now as much as it sucks I have a couple tiny bits of unfinished business with the mafia ban list but after that I must say goodbye.
